1) TAKE ACTION

Urging the de facto Houthi authorities to ensure that the 10 journalists are protected from torture and other ill-treatment and given, without delay, regular access to their families, lawyers and any medical treatment they may require;

Urging them to release the 10 journalists immediately, unless they are promptly transferred to proper judicial authorities and charged with a recognizable criminal offence, in line with international law and standards;

Calling upon them to open an effective, independent and impartial investigation into the allegations of torture and other ill-treatment.
